The low-level StoreAllActiveTransactions() function filters out
backends that exited.
Before this commit, if you run a pgbench, after that you'd still
see the backends show up:
```SQL
select count(*) from get_global_active_transactions();
┌───────┐
│ count │
├───────┤
│ 538 │
└───────┘
```
After this patch, only active backends show-up:
```SQL
select count(*) from get_global_active_transactions();
┌───────┐
│ count │
├───────┤
│ 72 │
└───────┘
```
* Break the dependency to CitusInitiatedBackend infrastructure
With this change, we start to show non-distributed backends as well
in citus_dist_stat_activity. I think that
(a) it is essential for making citus_lock_waits to work for blocked
on DDL commands.
(b) it is more expected from the user's perspective. The name of
the view is a little inconsistent now (e.g., citus_dist_stat_activity)
but we are already planning to improve the names with followup
PRs.
Also, we have global pids assigned, the CitusInitiatedBackend
becomes obsolete.
With this commit, rebalancer backends are identified by application_name = citus_rebalancer
and the regular internal backends are identified by application_name = citus_internal

With this commit, we make sure to use a dedicated connection per
node for all the metadata operations within the same transaction.
This is needed because the same metadata (e.g., metadata includes
the distributed table on the workers) can be modified accross
multiple connections.
With this connection we guarantee that there is a single metadata connection.
But note that this connection can be used for any other operation.
In other words, this connection is not only reserved for metadata
operations.
In the past, we allowed users to manually switch to 1PC
(e.g., one phase commit). However, with this commit, we
don't. All multi-shard modifications are done via 2PC.
With Citus 9.0, we introduced `citus.single_shard_commit_protocol` which
defaults to 2PC.
With this commit, we prevent any user to set it to 1PC and drop support
for `citus.single_shard_commit_protocol`.
Although this might add some overhead for users, it is already the default
behaviour (so less likely) and marking placements as INVALID is much
worse.

DESCRIPTION: Fix a segfault caused by use after free in ConnectionsPlacementHash
Fix a segfault caused by retaining data in any of the hashmaps making up the Placement Connection Management.
We have seen production systems segfault due to random data referenced from ConnectionPlacementHash.
On investigation we found that the backends segfaulting on this had OOM errors closely prior to the segfault.
It has shown there are at least 15 places where an allocation can OOM that would cause ConnectionPlacementHash to retain pointers to memory from contexts that are subsequently freed. This would reproduce the segfault we have observed in production.
Conditions for these allocations are:
- allocated after first call to `AssociatePlacementWithShard`: https://github.com/citusdata/citus/blob/v10.0.3/src/backend/distributed/connection/placement_connection.c#L880-L881
- allocated before `StartNodeUserDatabaseConnection`: https://github.com/citusdata/citus/blob/v10.0.3/src/backend/distributed/connection/connection_management.c#L291
At least 15 points of memory allocation (which could fail) are between the callsites of both in a primary key lookup on a reference table - where we have seen an OOM cause a segfault moments later.
Instead of leaving any references in ConnectionPlacementHash, ConnectionShardHash and ColocatedPlacementsHash that could retain any pointers that are freed due to the TopTransactionContext being reset we clear all these hashes irregardless of the state of CurrentCoordinatedTransactionState.
Downside is that on any transaction abort we will now iterate through 4 hashmaps and clear their contents. Given that they are either already empty, which should cause a quick iteration, or non-empty, causing segfaults in subsequent executions, this overhead seems reasonable.
A better solution would be to move the creation of these hashmaps so they would live in the TopTransactionContext themself, assuming their contents would never outlive a transaction. This needs more investigation and is an involved refactor Hence fixing this quickly here.
As we use the current user to sync the metadata to the nodes
with #5105 (and many other PRs), there is no reason that
prevents us to use the coordinated transaction for metadata syncing.
This commit also renames few functions to reflect their actual
implementation.
Before this commit, we always synced the metadata with superuser.
However, that creates various edge cases such as visibility errors
or self distributed deadlocks or complicates user access checks.
Instead, with this commit, we use the current user to sync the metadata.
Note that, `start_metadata_sync_to_node` still requires super user
because accessing certain metadata (like pg_dist_node) always require
superuser (e.g., the current user should be a superuser).
However, metadata syncing operations regarding the distributed
tables can now be done with regular users, as long as the user
is the owner of the table. A table owner can still insert non-sense
metadata, however it'd only affect its own table. So, we cannot do
anything about that.
Previously this was usually done after argument parsing. This can cause
SEGFAULTs if the number or type of arguments changes in a new version.
By checking that Citus version is correct before doing any argument
parsing we protect against these types of issues. Issues like this have
occurred in pg_auto_failover, so it's not just a theoretical issue.
The main reason why these calls were not at the top of functions is
really just historical. It was because in the past we didn't allow
statements before declarations. Thus having this check before the
argument parsing would have only been possible if we first declared all
variables.
In addition to moving existing CheckCitusVersion calls it also adds
these calls to rebalancer related functions (they were missing there).
* Columnar: introduce columnar storage API.
This new API is responsible for the low-level storage details of
columnar; translating large reads and writes into individual block
reads and writes that respect the page headers and emit WAL. It's also
responsible for the columnar metapage, resource reservations (stripe
IDs, row numbers, and data), and truncation.
This new API is not used yet, but will be used in subsequent
forthcoming commits.
* Columnar: add columnar_storage_info() for debugging purposes.
* Columnar: expose ColumnarMetadataNewStorageId().
* Columnar: always initialize metapage at creation time.
This avoids the complexity of dealing with tables where the metapage
has not yet been initialized.
* Columnar: columnar storage upgrade/downgrade UDFs.
Necessary upgrade/downgrade step so that new code doesn't see an old
metapage.
* Columnar: improve metadata.c comment.
* Columnar: make ColumnarMetapage internal to the storage API.
Callers should not have or need direct access to the metapage.
* Columnar: perform resource reservation using storage API.
* Columnar: implement truncate using storage API.
* Columnar: implement read/write paths with storage API.
* Columnar: add storage tests.
* Revert "Columnar: don't include stripe reservation locks in lock graph."
This reverts commit c3dcd6b9f8.
No longer needed because the columnar storage API takes care of
concurrency for resource reservation.
* Columnar: remove unnecessary lock when reserving.
No longer necessary because the columnar storage API takes care of
concurrent resource reservation.
* Add simple upgrade tests for storage/ branch
* fix multi_extension.out

The comment of DropMarkedShards described the behaviour that after a
failure we would continue trying to drop other shards. However the code
did not do this and would stop after the first failure. Instead of
simply fixing the comment I fixed the code, because the described
behaviour is more useful. Now a single shard that cannot be removed yet
does not block others from being removed.
Because setting the flag doesn't necessarily mean that we'll
use 2PC. If connections are read-only, we will not use 2PC.
In other words, we'll use 2PC only for connections that modified
any placements.
Before this commit, Citus used 2PC no matter what kind of
local query execution happens.
For example, if the coordinator has shards (and the workers as well),
even a simple SELECT query could start 2PC:
```SQL
WITH cte_1 AS (SELECT * FROM test LIMIT 10) SELECT count(*) FROM cte_1;
```
In this query, the local execution of the shards (and also intermediate
result reads) triggers the 2PC.
To prevent that, Citus now distinguishes local reads and local writes.
And, Citus switches to 2PC only if a modification happens. This may
still lead to unnecessary 2PCs when there is a local modification
and remote SELECTs only. Though, we handle that separately
via #4587.
* Skip 2PC for readonly connections in a transaction
* Use ConnectionModifiedPlacement() function
* Remove the second check of ConnectionModifiedPlacement()
* Add order by to prevent flaky output
* Test using pg_dist_transaction
We used to need WarnAboutLeakedPreparedTransaction()
as we didn't have auto 2PC recovery. But, we long have
2PC recovery by https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/1574
So, we don't need anymore.
Considering the adaptive connection management
improvements that we plan to roll soon, it makes it
very helpful to know the number of active client
backends.
We are doing this addition to simplify yhe adaptive connection
management for single node Citus. In single node Citus, both the
client backends and Citus parallel queries would compete to get
slots on Postgres' `max_connections` on the same Citus database.
With adaptive connection management, we have the counters for
Citus parallel queries. That helps us to adaptively decide
on the remote executions pool size (e.g., throttle connections
if necessary).
However, we do not have any counters for the total number of
client backends on the database. For single node Citus, we
should consider all the client backends, not only the remote
connections that Citus does.
Of course Postgres internally knows how many client
backends are active. However, to get that number Postgres
iterates over all the backends. For examaple, see [pg_stat_get_db_numbackends](8e90ec5580/src/backend/utils/adt/pgstatfuncs.c (L1240))
where Postgres iterates over all the backends.
For our purpuses, we need this information on every connection
establishment. That's why we cannot affort to do this kind of
iterattion.
* Not take ShareUpdateExlusiveLock on pg_dist_transaction
We were taking ShareUpdateExlusiveLock on pg_dist_transaction during
recovery to prevent multiple recoveries happening concurrenly. VACUUM(
not FULL) also takes ShareUpdateExclusiveLock, and they can conflict. It
seems that VACUUM will skip the table if there is a conflicting lock
already taken unless it is doing the vacuum to prevent id wraparound, in
which case there can be a deadlock. I guess the deadlock happens if:
- VACUUM takes a lock on pg_dist_transaction and is done for id
wraparound problem
- The transaction in the maintenance tries to take a lock but
cannot as that conflicts with the lock acquired by VACUUM
- The transaction in the maintenance daemon has a very old xid hence
VACUUM cannot proceed.
If we take a row exclusive lock in transaction recovery then it wouldn't
conflict with VACUUM hence it could proceed so the deadlock would be
resolved. To prevent concurrent transaction recoveries happening, an
advisory lock is taken with ShareUpdateExlusiveLock as before.
* Use CITUS_OPERATIONS tag
Introduce table entry utility functions
Citus table cache entry utilities are introduced so that we can easily
extend existing functionality with minimum changes, specifically changes
to these functions. For example IsNonDistributedTableCacheEntry can be
extended for citus local tables without the need to scan the whole
codebase and update each relevant part.
* Introduce utility functions to find the type of tables
A table type can be a reference table, a hash/range/append distributed
table. Utility methods are created so that we don't have to worry about
how a table is considered as a reference table etc. This also makes it
easy to extend the table types.
* Add IsCitusTableType utilities
* Rename IsCacheEntryCitusTableType -> IsCitusTableTypeCacheEntry
* Change citus table types in some checks
CMDTAG_SELECT exists in PG12 hence defining a MACRO such as
CMDTAG_SELECT -> "SELECT" is not possible. I chose CMDTAG_SELECT_COMPAT
because with the COMPAT suffix it is explicit that it maps to different
things in different versions and also has a less chance of mapping
something irrevelant. For example if we used SELECT as a macro, then it
would map every SELECT to whatever it is mapping to, which might have
unexpected/undesired behaviour.
This commit mostly adds pg_get_triggerdef_command to our ruleutils_13.
This doesn't add anything extra for ruleutils 13 so it is basically a copy
of the change on ruleutils_12

With PG13 heap_* (heap_open, heap_close etc) are replaced with table_*
(table_open, table_close etc).
It is better to use the new table access methods in the codebase and
define the macros for the previous versions as we can easily remove the
macro without having to change the codebase when we drop the support for
the old version.

With this patch, we introduce `locally_reserved_shared_connections.c/h` files
which are responsible for reserving some space in shared memory counters
upfront.
We sometimes need to reserve connections, but not necessarily
establish them. For example:
- COPY command should reserve connections as it cannot know which
connections it needs in which order. COPY establishes connections
as any input data hits the workers. For example, for router COPY
command, it only establishes 1 connection.
As discussed here (https://github.com/citusdata/citus/pull/3849#pullrequestreview-431792473),
COPY needs to reserve connections up-front, otherwise we can end
up with resource starvation/un-detected deadlocks.
We were using ALL_WORKERS TargetWorkerSet while sending temporary schema
creation and cleanup. We(well mostly I) thought that ALL_WORKERS would also include coordinator when it is added as a worker. It turns out that it was FILTERING OUT the coordinator even if it is added as a worker to the cluster.
So to have some context here, in repartitions, for each jobId we create
(at least we were supposed to) a schema in each worker node in the cluster. Then we partition each shard table into some intermediate files, which is called the PARTITION step. So after this partition step each node has some intermediate files having tuples in those nodes. Then we fetch the partition files to necessary worker nodes, which is called the FETCH step. Then from the files we create intermediate tables in the temporarily created schemas, which is called a MERGE step. Then after evaluating the result, we remove the temporary schemas(one for each job ID in each node) and files.
If node 1 has file1, and node 2 has file2 after PARTITION step, it is
enough to either move file1 from node1 to node2 or vice versa. So we
prune one of them.
In the MERGE step, if the schema for a given jobID doesn't exist, the
node tries to use the `public` schema if it is a superuser, which is
actually added for testing in the past.
So when we were not sending schema creation comands for each job ID to
the coordinator(because we were using ALL_WORKERS flag, and it doesn't
include the coordinator), we would basically not have any schemas for
repartitions in the coordinator. The PARTITION step would be executed on
the coordinator (because the tasks are generated in the planner part)
and it wouldn't give us any error because it doesn't have anything to do
with the temporary schemas(that we didn't create). But later two things
would happen:
- If by chance the fetch is pruned on the coordinator side, we the other
nodes would fetch the partitioned files from the coordinator and execute
the query as expected, because it has all the information.
- If the fetch tasks are not pruned in the coordinator, in the MERGE
step, the coordinator would either error out saying that the necessary
schema doesn't exist, or it would try to create the temporary tables
under public schema ( if it is a superuser). But then if we had the same
task ID with different jobID it would fail saying that the table already
exists, which is an error we were getting.
In the first case, the query would work okay, but it would still not do
the cleanup, hence we would leave the partitioned files from the
PARTITION step there. Hence ensure_no_intermediate_data_leak would fail.
To make things more explicit and prevent such bugs in the future,
ALL_WORKERS is named as ALL_NON_COORD_WORKERS. And a new flag to return
all the active nodes is added as ALL_DATA_NODES. For repartition case,
we don't use the only-reference table nodes but this version makes the
code simpler and there shouldn't be any significant performance issue
with that.
Rename TargetWorkerSet enums to make them more explicit about what they
mean. Ideally it would be good to treat everything as a node without the
'worker' concept because it makes things complicated. Another
improvement could be to rename TargetWorkerSet as TargetNodeSet but it
goes to renaming many occurrences of Worker, which is probably too big
for this PR.
It was possible to get an assertion error, if a DML command was
cancelled that opened a connection and then "ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT" was
used to continue the transaction. The reason for this was that canceling
the transaction might leave the `claimedExclusively` flag on for (some
of) it's connections.
This caused an assertion failure because `CanUseExistingConnection`
would return false and a new connection would be opened, and then there
would be two connections doing DML for the same placement. Which is
disallowed. That this situation caused an assertion failure instead of
an error, means that without asserts this could possibly result in some
visibility bugs, similar to the ones described
https://github.com/citusdata/citus/issues/3867
This can save a lot of data to be sent in some cases, thus improving
performance for which inter query bandwidth is the bottleneck.
There's some issues with enabling this as default, so that's currently not done.
This is a different version of #3634. It also removes SwallowErrors, but
instead of modifying our own functions to not throw errors, it uses the
postgres built in `PathNameDeleteTemporaryDir` function. This function
does not throw errors.
Since this change is for a bugfix, I tried to minimize the changes.
PRs with the following changes would be good to do separately from this
PR:
1. Use PathName(Create|Open|Delete)Temporary(File|Dir) to open and
remove all files/dirs instead of our own custom file functions.
2. Prefix our outmost files/directories with `PG_TEMP_FILE_PREFIX` so
that they are identified by Postgres as temporary files, which will be
removed at postmaster start. This way we do not have to do this cleanup
ourselves.
3. Store the files in the temporary table space if it exists.

With this commit, we're introducing a new infrastructure to throttle
connections to the worker nodes. This infrastructure is useful for
multi-shard queries, router queries are have not been affected by this.
The goal is to prevent establishing more than citus.max_shared_pool_size
number of connections per worker node in total, across sessions.
To do that, we've introduced a new connection flag OPTIONAL_CONNECTION.
The idea is that some connections are optional such as the second
(and further connections) for the adaptive executor. A single connection
is enough to finish the distributed execution, the others are useful to
execute the query faster. Thus, they can be consider as optional connections.
When an optional connection is not allowed to the adaptive executor, it
simply skips it and continues the execution with the already established
connections. However, it'll keep retrying to establish optional
connections, in case some slots are open again.
We have two variables that are related to local execution status.
TransactionAccessedLocalPlacement and
TransactionConnectedToLocalGroup. Only one of these fields should be
set, however we didn't have any check for this contraint and it was
error prone.
What those two variables are used is that we are trying to understand if
we should use local execution, the current session, or if we should be
using a connection to execute the current query, therefore the tasks. In
the enum, now it is more clear what these variables mean.
Also, now we have a method to change the local execution status. The
method will error if we are trying to transition from a state to a wrong
state. This will help us avoid problems.
* test that we don't leak intermediate schemas
We have tests to make sure that we don't intermediate any intermediate
files, tables etc but we don't test if we are leaking schemas. It makes
sense to test this as well.
* remove all repartition schemas in case of error
This solution is not an ideal one but it seems to be doing the job.
We should have a more generic solution for the cleanup but it seems that
putting the cleanup in the abort handler is dangerous and it was
crashing.
Semmle reported quite some places where we use a value that could be NULL. Most of these are not actually a real issue, but better to be on the safe side with these things and make the static analysis happy.
Comparison between differently sized integers in loop conditions can cause
infinite loops. This can happen when doing something like this:
```c
int64 very_big = MAX_INT32 + 1;
for (int32 i = 0; i < very_big; i++) {
// do something
}
// never reached because i overflows before it can reach the value of very_big
```
* Update shardPlacement->nodeId to uint
As the source of the shardPlacement->nodeId is always workerNode->nodeId,
and that is uint32.
We had this hack because of: 0ea4e52df5 (r266421409)
And, that is gone with: 90056f7d3c (diff-c532177d74c72d3f0e7cd10e448ab3c6L1123)
So, we're safe to do it now.
* Relax the restrictions on using the local execution
Previously, whenever any local execution happens, we disabled further
commands to do any remote queries. The basic motivation for doing that
is to prevent any accesses in the same transaction block to access the
same placements over multiple sessions: one is local session the other
is remote session to the same placement.
However, the current implementation does not distinguish local accesses
being to a placement or not. For example, we could have local accesses
that only touches intermediate results. In that case, we should not
implement the same restrictions as they become useless.
So, this is a pre-requisite for executing the intermediate result only
queries locally.
* Update the error messages
As the underlying implementation has changed, reflect it in the error
messages.
* Keep track of connections to local node
With this commit, we're adding infrastructure to track if any connection
to the same local host is done or not.
The main motivation for doing this is that we've previously were more
conservative about not choosing local execution. Simply, we disallowed
local execution if any connection to any remote node is done. However,
if we want to use local execution for intermediate result only queries,
this'd be annoying because we expect all queries to touch remote node
before the final query.
Note that this approach is still limiting in Citus MX case, but for now
we can ignore that.
* Formalize the concept of Local Node
Also some minor refactoring while creating the dummy placement
* Write intermediate results locally when the results are only needed locally
Before this commit, Citus used to always broadcast all the intermediate
results to remote nodes. However, it is possible to skip pushing
the results to remote nodes always.
There are two notable cases for doing that:
(a) When the query consists of only intermediate results
(b) When the query is a zero shard query
In both of the above cases, we don't need to access any data on the shards. So,
it is a valuable optimization to skip pushing the results to remote nodes.
The pattern mentioned in (a) is actually a common patterns that Citus users
use in practice. For example, if you have the following query:
WITH cte_1 AS (...), cte_2 AS (....), ... cte_n (...)
SELECT ... FROM cte_1 JOIN cte_2 .... JOIN cte_n ...;
The final query could be operating only on intermediate results. With this patch,
the intermediate results of the ctes are not unnecessarily pushed to remote
nodes.
* Add specific regression tests
As there are edge cases in Citus MX and with round-robin policy,
use the same queries on those cases as well.
* Fix failure tests
By forcing not to use local execution for intermediate results since
all the tests expects the results to be pushed remotely.
* Fix flaky test
* Apply code-review feedback
Mostly style changes
* Limit the max value of pg_dist_node_seq to reserve for internal use
We might need to send commands from workers to other workers. In
these cases we shouldn't override the xact id assigned by coordinator,
or otherwise we won't read the consistent set of result files
accross the nodes.
